Hi everyone, Having an issue with my PC that is really bothering me. Basically, my gpu only performs normally while I'm in Windows 11 with no problems whatsoever. However, in BIOS and Linux it freaks out all of the time and I just can't seem to figure out whats causing it. The issue is that my displays keep getting no signal all of a sudden, mostly after 15-30 minutes of booting either of them and I have to do a complete system reset to get it back again (holding pc power button). I have tried with both DisplayPort and HDMI. My main monitor is DisplayPort and I tried with HDMI on my TV. Also tried replugging the DP/HDMI cable and switching input while this issue was happening but it does not help. In Linux I can also hear media still playing in the background if that is of any help at all. I get that my GPU might freak out in Linux (even if i have the nvidia proprietary drivers) but I can't wrap my head around why this would happen if im just idleing in BIOS. I have updated both my motherboards bios to the latest version and also the vbios but to no avail. I also tried taking out the CMOS battery for a couple of hours, reseating video card, checking cables, enabling/disabling CSM, enabling/disabling XMP. If anyone has any clue as to what is going on please do let me know. It would be most appreciated. Posting PC specs below: Ryzen 5800x RTX 3060 ti (OC GAMING PRO from gigabyte) 32gb 3200mhz Corsair RAM b550 aorus pro v2 Samsung SSD 980 PRO 2TB Seagate ST2000DM001-ER164 2TB Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB Corsair RM750X

I'm curently helping my brother building a pc since i did it a couple of times without any problems. However, as soon as i tried turning on the pc there are no light on the motherboard at all (except for when you plug the psu in the wall socket for a split second) But the fans for the GPU and CPU are spinning and also the gpu logo lights up. Here are the specs: GTX 970, Ryzen 5800x, Corsair CX 600M and a B550 Aorus Pro V2 I tried doing the q-flash with the latest bios and after the flash was done it booted but still with the same outcome as before. I have tried it with a different GPU that was laying around aswell but it did not change anything either :( What i haven't tried yet is booting the pc outside of the case but since the fans start spinning and i could also do the q-flash, could this really be the issue? I have also tried different ram modules and tried all of the different ram slots on the mobo. He only wanted to upgrade the CPU and Mobo atm so thats why the GTX 970 is still in the build lol... Thanks in advance! c:

@Imakuni Alright! I will try that when i wake up tomorrow and i will tell you how it goes. Thanks for helping!

@Imakuni Yes, i will also include a screenshot of my bios (maybe i am changing the wrong setting?) but i doubt that. The screenshot of HWMonitor is with the CPU overlocked to 4.2GHz @1.3Vcore.

@Imakuni I said that i already tried setting it to manual mode but to no avail. It still goes over 1.4v when i play CPU intensive games or just opening programs in Windows. I want it to be locked @1.3v which i locked it to with manual mode but manual mode does not do anything for me at all. The Vcore still spikes up to 1.4v.

Hey everyone, I have really weird voltage spikes on my CPU which us running at stock speeds @4GHz and "optimal" settings in my z170 pro gaming asus board. Basically what is happening is that when i am playing a game the voltage sometime reaches 1.4V which i consider really, really high for stock speeds. I tried setting it to manual mode in bios @1.3Vcore but when i look in CPU-Z or HWMonitor it still reads very high voltages. It is like the bios is ignoring my manual Vcore setting. Is there anything i can do about this? Should i try Offset or Adaptive mode? I want my CPU to be at 1.3Vcore or "VID" as it reads in HWMonitor and CPU-Z so that i can overclock it properly without the voltage spiking so much. And yes, i do have the latest bios for my mobo and like i said, i am running at "optimal" settings in bios so i don't have XMP or anything else activated. I usually run with XMP turned on but nothing really changes. The voltage still spikes to 1.4V. I'm a total newbie with overclocking specifically CPUs so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ok, thanks guys! Problem solved!

So i have finally decided to buy a new processor, the processor i am planning to buy is an i7 4790k with LGA1150. But i'm not 100% sure if it would fit since my current CPU is LGA1155. My current motherboard is a Z77-DS3H and if you look here http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4326#sp it says it has support for 1155 socket processors. And since the processor i am planning to buy uses LGA1150, would that fit on the motherboard? Thanks!

Oh yeah, i also realised that i should have posted it in the CPU section. Is there any way any admin could lock/remove this thread?

Hello! I am planning to get a new processor for christmas but i just dont know if my current PSU will be able to handle it. Right now, i am running a Nvidia GTX 760 Windforce with 2GB VRam and an Intel core i5 2320 processor at 3,1 GhZ and with these specs the PSU works just fine. But since i am upgrading my processor into an Intel core i7 4790k processor i just dont know if the PSU will be able to handle it. So my current PSU is a Corsair CX500M 500W and runs totally fine with my current specs that i mentioned earlier. I just don't know if it will generate enough power for both a GTX 760 and an I7 4790k, what do you guys think? Since i'm not that much into processors i dont really know if it's going to be worth it or not, because i don't really feel like buying a new PSU at the moment. Any thoughts or advice is really appreciated!
